I said I'm studying Slavic languages, particularly Russian literature." The guy, who was my age, switches to Russian and as he's going thru my baggage says "Why don't you tell me a little about the character development of Parfen Rogozhin in Dostoevky's The Idiot." Surprised, I started doing my usual "I'm not prepared for this" analysis of the character development. He finished my luggage and says "OK, you can get on the plane but I suggest you read your Dostoevsky a little more carefully."
